The recipe I found came from Because Barenaked Chef Said So. I was a bit surprised by the recipe once I saw the ingredients since one of them was Italian dressing mix. To me that kind of seemed like cheating, but I was already committing to doing this so c'est la vie.
Here's what you'll need.
The next step is REALLY tough. Are you ready??
Throw it all into a blender or food processor.
Aaaaand that's it. I mean it's quite easy. In the end it wasn't really all it was cracked up to be. I mean it wasn't bad by any means, but it was just another dressing. We used it all, but I don't think I'll be going through the effort again any time soon. What do you think?
